Two Cinnamon We're looking into a
kearney street shOp-window yesterday
when a mischevious small boy slipped
up behind them with an impish grin on
his physiognomy and tied the two pig
tails together. The rogue then seated
himself on hydrant nearby to wait the
fun. Presently one of the heather
started off on his way down the street.
but of course came to a sudden halt when
the limit of the tales was reached. His
surprise was only equalled by that of his
cOuntryman. For a second both glared
at each other. Then, perceiving the
cause of their predicament sitting on the
hydrant convulsed with laughter, they
simultaneously made a rush for him. OF
course the boy ran. The Cinnamon. their
queues still fastened securely together as
the young imp left them followed at a
breakneck speed, yelling and gesticu-
lating at every step. The boy suddenly

too. but, forgetful of their united con-
dition, passed on opposite sides of the

WHY We Love Her
Washington Post.


Mrs Cleveland will be greeted with
affectionate enthusiasm as the bride of
the President, as the first lady" in the
land. as the mistress of the historical
White House; not alone for this. but
for the inherent qualities she possesses
intelligence. beauty, mOdesty, cheerful
ness, graciousness. She is a model wo-
man: she has not allowed her head to be
turned by the august social position she
occupies; she always sets a good exam
pie: she lives as all true American wO-
men should live. gentle and thoughtful
for others, cherishing high regard for
the right and a modesty of manner and
costume which is refrezhing. We would
not offer Mrs. Cleveland by pretending
mat there is no other woman who is
personally SO worthy-there are tens of
thousands; but she is cynosure; she
stands ON a high pedestal, where all she
is and all she says. and all she does,
count at maximum: she is. for the
time being, of more consequence than
her excellent neighbOrs, MesdameS
Brown, Jones and Smith: and she should
be honored and greeted with affection
ate enthusiasm. because. being an exam
pie to- millions. she Is in every way wor-
thy of the trust.

Lower California"
American AgTicultIIrist.

Parties are sending out circulars.
pamphlets, etc., setting forth that Lower
California Is a better grain, dairy, and
ranch district than any other portion of
America. and a better fruit country than
Florida" To read these and other wildly
eXtravagant statements about this cOun-
try Is in strange contrast with the curren-
reports of the fate of a colony at Tobolo-
bampo. in Lower California, in which
most heart-rending stories are told of
sickness and starvation among colonists
from Michigan and Wisconsin. There
is great lack of food and of pure water.
while small pOx and diphtheria have
made the graveyard more poDulous than
the settlement. The writer was some
years ago at Guyamas. on the
main land opposite La PaZ. the
principal town in Lower Cali
fOrnia. He there met a party of CalifOr-
mans who had been induced to go to
Lower California, to prospect for mines
They We're on their way back. The ac-
counts they gave of the country were
very unlike those in these circulars
They presented it as a mountain chain of
the most rugged kind, with but narrow
habitable strips on each shore. The
population were represented as
in the most degraded poverty. The
fact that Lower California Is
under "A foreign government, and
that the Mexican officials, so far
from the capital, are usually ignorant
and arbitrary, and not well disposed to
newcomers, should make one hesitate
before going there. although there are
doubtless some good lands there. Our
own territory is not vet over-crowded.
Do not confuse Lower California with
Southern California, which is differ
ent region.

The Countess Nab Magrie.
New York Letter.

In the way of little things social, |
yesterday saw a close carriage drive up
to the Belmont residence in Fifth ave
nue.. There was plenty of high style
about the sleek. spirited horses, the liv-
cried driver and lackey and the mirror
like blackness of the polished vehicle;
but those qualities can now be had at
the best livery stables. and therefore
they no longer indicate ownership on
the part of the occupants. What made
me stop and cOvertly stare was the emer-
gence of a three-and-a-half foot lady.
She was matronly in shape and mien,
her face was handsome at forty-tive and
her dress was the perfection of quiet
fashion Had my eyes become suddenly

and looked again. BY that time the lady
in miniature was ascending the Belmont
steps. Then l recognized her. She was
Mrs. Tom Thumb, otherwise the Coun-
tess Nab Aagrie, who had within three
days arrived from Europe. and was
making round of formal calls. Mrs.
Thumb has "a considerable circle of pre-
tentious acquaintances in New York.
and she is very punctiliOus in her atten-
ton to the usageS of polite society.

Does Reviyaiism Pay!


When Rev. Sam Jones and Rev. Sam
Small came to this city last year their
services were attended by immense num-
bers of persons, and the results of the
meetings in that respect went beyond
the expectations of the most sanguine
promoters of the movement. 1t was in
evitable that some friction should be de-
veloped with the ministers of conserv-
alive denominations but on the whole
the clergy of the city accorded the evan
CYCLISTS hearty welcome and left free
field for the exercise of their vacations.
This was year ago, and it is under
derstood that Rev. Sam Jones Will shortly
revisit this city 1t is probable that he
will be alone, if only for the reason that
Mr.. Small is a very sick man.
Conservative ministers of religion now
rise to remark that, whatever may have
been the temporary effect of the revival
sermons of Messrs. Jones and Small. the
people who went To hear them are at
this time running up big account with
the enemy of souls, much as if the cru
SADIE had never been conducted. The
real issue is whether the money devoted
to the revival meetings would or would
not have borne more solid and lasting
results if spent in supporting the regular
services In the city churches.

New Fashions i'm Frogs Legs.

There are new styles in frogs legs
this season. said the venerable Col.
PhOciOn Howard last evening He is
the proprietor of Barataria frog farm
Nermillion County-the largest and rich
est frog farm in the world.
I'm the past, he continued. 1.-The style
has been decoliete. but this season
it Is the fashion To trim or garnish the
saddles high with herbs and parsley.
The best restaurateurs found that il was
very shocking to the most delicate tastes
to serve frogs legs au naturel, as they
called it. There is an abandon about a
group of untrimmed frog legs frest from
the skillet that necessarily otfends a sen
sitive nature. No thoughtful father or
careful mother would wish to introduce
these shocking articles de vertu into the
home circle. To meet all possible OBJ
jections. therefore, importers and deal
ers have determined to bedeck. garnish
and trim frogs legs in such manner a.
to appeal for patronage to the higher and
nobler instincts of humanity. The fol
price-Iist will be read with interest:

Remedies for Stings.
American Agriculturist.

Nearly every boy and girl, whether
living in the country or city, has at some
time been stung by either bee or a
WASH. At the time of the sting the pain
has so occupied the attention that
you did not stop to consider
whether the sting was inflicted by a
bee or a wasp. nor did you at the time
admire the mechanism by which the
sting was inflicted. All are aware that
the sting is actually painful. and that it
is inflicted by one-the rear, or tail end
of the insect. Some one has humor-
ously called this the cuisines end" of
the insect All should know that a drop
of water of ammonia, often called spirits
of hartshOrn applied to the place will.
usually. at once relieve the pain
caused by these stings. as well as those
of the mosquito. If ammonia is not at
hand. little baking soda. mixed into a
stiff paste with water. may be applied.
In the absence of both of these. apply a
plaster of mud. If no application can
be made. the pain will soon pass away,
and we may then well consider how the
wound was inflicted.

you will see a white horse"
Half a block further another red
headed girl was met.
Where's your white horse now:
asked the reporter.
There's one turning the next corner.
he replied, and, sure enough. around the
corner came a white horse drawing a
dray.
They never fail. | tell you. | have
been saying. Here's a rel headed girl
and there's a white horse for fifteen
years. I've never got left yet.
After parting. the reporter met one

white horse. was not surprised to see a
car pass drawn by two of them.

We have received the special report of
the Massachusetts, Board of Railroad
Commissioners in relation to the Dedham
disaster of March ii, last, where a pas
senger train went through bridge over
South street, West Roxbury, Boston,
with great loss of life. The report is
more than usually instructive. A more
thorough Investigation was never given
to any disaster and the searching ques-
tons brought out much information the
railroad company would have preferred
to conceal. The report has four hello
type illustrations, one of the bridge be-
fore the accident and three of the scene
after the accident, showing the shattered
cars. In addition are number of plans
of the bridge, the broken hangers whose
weakness resulted so fatally. Portions
of the report were published in THE PA

the Boston Herald. 1t is a document

Punta GOrda.

The Jacksonville Board of Health con-
sidered the letter of DIR. Bruner about
the condition of Punta Gorta, which we
published Yesterday. and disposed of the
subject by referring it to the Tampa
Board with instructions to act. This is
satisfactory way of dealing with such
subject because it looks as though
instances of such manner of settling
quarantine matters nearer home but
unfortunately paper will not keep out
yellow fever.
The fact is, the quarantine of our
coast is not a matter that interests Tam
pa or Cedar Key alone, but every resi-
dent of Florida. The trouble at Punta
Gorda concerns Palatka and Jack
sonville. The Jacksonville Board
of Health would have shown more
courage if it had called upon such
of the citizens of Florida as can spare
the money to assist the people of Punta
Gorda in maintaining the quarantine
and had then insisted upon that locality
being made as clean as possible. All the
boards of health in Florida should have
concurred in this.
There is no reason for a scare about
yellow fever as it exists'at Key West, but
the conditions described by DIR. Bruner
as existing at Punta Gorda con-
stitute hot bed for the prop
agation of the disease from the
first case which lands there. or for
breeding the disease. Everything is ripe
there for an outbreak of virulent fevers.
which would give rise to reports of ''yel-
low fever on the main land Here we
see the Importance of State Board of
Health, with authority to insist upon
the sanitation of such places as Punta
Gorda, and with resources to aid the
inhabitants in maintaining quarantine.
Alarm Is needless, foolish at this iunc-
ture, but false sense of security is dam
gerous. Any town in the condition i'm
which Punta Gorda is said to be, is dam
gerous, not so much to the health as to
the peace of mind of all the State.
